If you specify Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) for trapped blister carded packaging, a handful of properties decide whether the part survives forming and service. These are the values worth checking on every data sheet.
The notes below come from day to day production and export work with overseas buyers.
This category covers a family of products rather than a single item. In practice a buyer defines trapped blister carded packaging by three things: the base resin, the format or dimension, and the performance or certification level it has to meet. Typical options in this category include card sizes to 250 x 400 mm; standard pegboard hole patterns; gauge 0.25 to 0.50 mm. Materials most often specified are Polystyrene, Recycled PET, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Polyvinyl Chloride, and the choice between them changes stiffness, temperature resistance, chemical behaviour and price.
In the cosmetics and personal care sector the decision is usually driven by product compatibility and optical clarity, with print quality as a secondary requirement. Typical end uses include travel size packs, sample cards, gift set inserts.
These figures are typical for commercial grades and should be confirmed against the supplier's certificate for your specific lot.
| Material | Density | Tensile strength | Service temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recycled PET | 1.35-1.40 g/cm³ | 45-65 MPa | -40°C to 70°C |
| Polyethylene Terephthalate | 1.35-1.40 g/cm³ | 50-70 MPa | -40°C to 70°C |
| Polyvinyl Chloride | 1.38-1.45 g/cm³ | 40-55 MPa | -10°C to 60°C |
Polyethylene Terephthalate is frequently the default selection here: High IV PET resin is the reason a 1.5 L bottle can be light yet hold carbonation pressure.
These figures are typical for commercial grades and should be confirmed against the supplier's certificate for your specific lot.
Density 1.35-1.40 g/cm³, tensile strength 50-70 MPa, continuous service temperature -40°C to 70°C and melt range 245-265°C are the four values to circle on the data sheet. Everything else is secondary for most cosmetics and personal care projects.
Beyond the base resin, most suppliers offer UV stabilised, food contact, flame retardant, anti-static and recycled content versions of the same product. Ask which additive package is included, because it is often the difference between a part that lasts three years and one that lasts ten.
The route below is the one most factories use for this type of part.
Secondary operations such as printing, welding, machining and assembly are often cheaper to do in the same factory, and they reduce the risk of mismatch between components.

Yes. {mat1} is one of our regular materials for this item, and we can supply virgin, modified and certified grades with full traceability. Material certificates and test reports are issued per batch.
Colour is controlled with a masterbatch reference approved by the customer, and every production lot is checked against the approved sample under standard lighting before shipment.
Standard packing is export cartons on fumigation-free pallets, with custom labelling, barcode and retail packing available. We also handle consolidated containers and door to door delivery.
For standard sizes and colours the minimum is usually one pallet or one production run; for custom tooling the economic minimum depends on the tooling cost amortised over the expected volume. Send us your annual volume and we will calculate the break even point.
We can provide ISO 9001 quality system documentation, material certificates, RoHS and REACH statements, and where applicable food contact, flame retardancy or drinking water approvals. Tell us your target market and we will match the document set.
Share your specification and quantity with us and we will recommend the most cost effective material, tooling route and packing method for your market.
